New K. of P. and
Masonic Temple
The Knights of Pythias occupied
! tiieir new home for the first time last
week Wednesday night, which is in
conjuction with the Masons over the
Ogle Oarage in the new H. W. Pedler
building. The hall is a fine one, with
banqueting room adjoining and with
Uie necessary ante-rooms, closets, re
ceptacles for paraphernalia of the
orders, etc. The baU is to be used
jointly by the K. of P. and Masonic
orders, with their auxiliaries, and has
been elegantly fitted up with carpets,
upholstered furniture, piano, and
everything necessary to make it up.
tCMiate in every particular. We doubt
if there is a finer temple for secret
orders in Central Nebraska. Mr. Ped
ler is certainly entitled to unstinted
praise in providing such a royal place
1 for the orders.

You’re Another
Like a a sweet faced damosel in
a dimity lawn is the appearance of
the Loup City Northwestern the last
few months. Like works of line art
are its display ads. Like selections
from Addison and Burke and Mcau

from Plato is the country correspon
dence—Ahem! a ten-center—a Henry

Sargent News.
Sargent to Have
Electric Lights.
A movement is on foot, as we see by
the Sargent News, for an electric
light plant in its city. Supt. Bignell
of the Burlington is one of the pro
jectors. At a meeting of the citizens
of that live villiage, unanamous en
couragement was given the proposed
enterprise.
What Bro. Miller
Thinks of We’uns
Bro. Miller of the Cannelton (Ind.)
Enquirer who, with his wife,recently
returned to his Hoosier home after
m futrrrinri visit here at the W. F.
Mason home, and who made a host
of friends througltout city and county,
writes entertainingly of his visit here,
his experiences and how he looks at
the country, as follows:
Loup City, Neb., Oct. 19.
To The Enquirer Readers:
If 1 remember correctly, my pre
vious letter to you concluded with the
promise to tell you something more de
tailed of tlte little city of Loup her
people and their methods. The end
of this week will likely conclude our
pleasant visit here and we will move
a few hundred miles into Iowa, near
Cedar Falls, where we will spend the
remainder of the time we have mapped
out for our western visit and then
return to Cannelton.
Loup City is located peculiarly to some
day become a second Cincinnati with
its encircling highlands and endless
level building space, and within a ra
dius of twenty miles in all directions
lies some of the finest farming lands
of Nebraska. There are no manufac
tures lie re worthy of mention and the
city depends solely upon tite wealth
of tier farming interests. Tlte land
commands from tto to $135 per acre,
and strange too as It may seem,where
titer* is one acre under cultivation
there is fifty acres in its virgin state
and devoted to hay arxj grating lands.
There is also an enormous acreage of
alfalfa from which the farmers pro
cure four cuttings to the seasos. Corn
in past years has yielded far better
titan at tlte present season which ac
counts for prairie hay and alfalfa com
manding an unusually high price just
now—from $10 to $13 per ton—in past
S from $6 to $10.
But I am a little off the original
subject. I started to tell you about
Loup City and particularly of her
several natural advantages of which
she is making good use. Middle Loup
river,a wide,swiftstream,buttooshal
low to float a joboat, flows almost
within the city limits of Loup and
passes entirely through Sherman
county, from north-west to south-east,
or as we say at home "catacornered,”
‘•catawampus" and “on the bias”, like
mother cuts our pie. When “bigbusi
ness” began to gobble up all that
looked good in this community in its
earliest days, the citizens of Loup
City took up the example and appro
priated a goodly portion of the river
for “the good of the town.” They
tapped into the river and carried the
water through an artificial canal which
operates a massive turbine and flows
back into the river. This turbine gen
trates the power that furnishes the
city with electricity for lighting and
all other useful purposes without the
expenditure of a cent for fuel. A new
electric light system is just being
completed that renders a continuous
service twenty-four hours a day
every day in the week. In addition
to operating tire electric light plan^
the power from the turbine operates
a modern flouring mill. Large oil
engines operate the light plant and
the flouring mill in winter when the
canal is frozen over.
Another similar and simpler pro
cess is the arrangement that operates
the city’s water works plant. Pure,
clear cold water es derived from four
wells located upon the highland near
the city that are driven to the depth
of 175 feet. Massive windmills operate
the pumps in the wells, and believe
me. there is never a lack of ‘•power’’
to run the mills out here. There are
occasions when there is considerable
“transferring’’ of real estate of which
record is never made. We had such
a day yesterday when it moved south,
and we are expecting to see it come
back tomorrow. However it is a nice
clean quality of dirt, and when one
dosen’t like it he can step in the
house. If man is essentially doomed
to “eat his peck of dirt’’ he doesn't
have to wait long after putting in
his order out here. He gets it quick,
but it may be said conservatively
that the wind is the only disagree
able feature of this; section. The
weather today is as line as any brand
r^alifnrnia pvor nrnHnnoW
But to refer again to Ihe wind-mills,
(which I have learned to view as the
mutual competitors of fellows in the
newspaper business, because their
principal stock in trade is the same
as ours,) like the water that furnishes
the city light, they furnish the city
water and absolutely without cost ex
cept for the grease that goes on the
gearing and at that there is no cost
for applying it, as the city marshal
attends to tliat duty once a week the
same as our city marshal winds the
city clock every Tuesday morning.
Water and light rates are very reason
able, as might be expected under the
circumstances. The city owns the
water plant and the light plant is
owned by individuals. The water
supply never varies the year round and
there is a constant pressure of 60
pounds on the mains. Comparing
past conditions at homo and as they
exist here along the line of water
service, a fellow hates to see this nice,
clear water poured upon a tire, but
that’s what they do with it here.
The founders of Loup City unques
tionably had tire right idea. AH the
streets of the citjrare equally as wide
as Broadway in Louisville. Eight
years ago .there were but two brick
buildings in the city; today they are
numerous and more building right
along. At present there is under
construction an opera house, a mas
sire hotel and several store buildings |
of brick. This place supports three
large and modern garages, two of
brick and one of concrete blocks, and
all are filled with modern machines.
Residents take an especial pride in
keeping up their homes and premises.
Concrete is playing an important part
in the improvement of Loup City.
Concrete walks line every business
and residence thoroughfare on both
sides: modern homes and business
houses are building of concrete blocks.
It is very common to see the latest
designed homes on the farms around
here built of concrete blocks with
walks all about them of the same
material. Every farmer lias his own
water works system upon his farm
and throughout his home, enjoying
the use of hot and cold clear water,
all furnished by the windmill on his
place.
These advantages are pleasant to be
in possession of, of course, but then
they are nothing to discourage us in
old Perry as they can be had and en
joyed only in communities where
natural conditions provide ttiem.
There is a particular similarity one
will readily notice with the soil here
and that in Perry county, and in
which the two are about equal. If
you mix it with water it will turn to
mud of that adhesive, sticky quality,
the only difference being that ours is
of the paroxide blond hue while this
brand here is more on the order of
printer’s ink and makes more of a
1 prominent appearance on a summer 1
suit of clothes.
WHERE THE CHILDREN OBEY
Courtesy to the E!ders Universal In
That Country, Makes the Ger
man Home Ideal.
As a rule German children of all
classes are treated as children and
taught the elementary virtue of obedi
ence. Das Recht des Kindes is a new
cry with some of the people, but nev
ertheless Germany is one of the few
| remaining civilized countries where
the elders still have rights and priv
ileges. I heard of an English woman
the other day who said that she had
never eaten the wing of a chicken,
because when she was young it was
always given to the older people, and
now that she was old it was saved for
the children. If she lived in Germany
ahe would still have a chance, provid
ed she kept away from a small loud
set, who in all matters of education
1 and morality would like to turn the
1 world upside down.
In most German homes the noisy,
spoilt American child would not bo
endured for a moment, and the little
tyrant of a French family would be
taught its place to the comfort and
advantage of all concerned. I have
dined with a large family where eight
young ones of various ages sat at an
overflow table and did not disturb
their elders by a sound. It was not
because the elders were harsh or the
young folks repressed, but because
Germany teaches its youth to behave.
The little girls still drop you a pret
ty old-fashioned courtesy when they
greet you. The little boys, if you arc
staying in the house with them, coma
and shake hands at unexpected times
—when they arrive from school, for
instance, and before they go out for
a walk.. They play the same games
as English children and I need hardly
say that they are brought up on the
same fairy stories, because many of
our favorites come from Germany.—
From “Home Life in Germany,” by
Mrs. Alfred Sldgwiek.

MAU LAIU AWAY IKc BAiMJU
Old Darky Found His Tsients Brought
Him Into Grave Danger, and
He Fled.
Senator John Sharp 'Williams tells of
a "character" in a southern state
known as “the best banjo player any
where.” It followed, therefore, that
when a lady In the town whereof this
instrumentalist is a resident wished to
show some northern visitors just what
a genuine old darky could do with a
banjo she called at Unde Henry’s lit
tle cabin and. stated, her wishes to his
■wife.
“I is very sorry, missy," said the
wife, “but Henry he ain’t playin’ de
banjo any mo’.” She then indicated
the spot where the instrument lay,
covered with dust “He jes’ puts in
all his time fishin’ now.”
“What led him to give up his play
ing?” asked the visitor. “Has he got
religion?”
“No, missy, dat wuthless nigger
ain’t got no religion. No, missy; he’s
done got skeered."
“Scared? Of what?”
“By dat minstrel show, honey. De
boss of dat show he hearn de ole man
playin’, an’ he offers him a stidy job
doin’ it. Yassum, an it skeered Hen
ry so bad dat he quit banjo playin’
i right awajrT_
So They All Ate Onions.
Sailie Fisher, the musical comedy
star, who sang herself Into the upper
register of popular favor with that
“Dearie” song, has & mother who oc
casionally gets Sallte into trouble. It
was at a little dinner party in New
York last season and there were tour
at the table. Sailie. her mother and
two friends. Mrs. Fisher carefully
scanned the menu card and then stat
ed, wtth particular emphasis, that she
wanted an order of Spanish onions,
sliced and raw, and didn't care what
else was ordered.
“Mother!" ejaculated Sails®
“Onions? And before the perform
ance?"
“Onions and before the perform
ance," insist, d Mrs. Fisher. Then sha
cast a rather scornful expression to
ward the fastidious daughter. "If these
boys could see you eating garlic in
the summer time they would have no
objections to my entire onions in the
winter time,” said Mrs. Fisher, <5®
cisively, v hereupon Sailie collapsed.
Then they all ate onions.
She Hadn’t Taught as Long as That.
A primary teacher, whose efficiency
had extended her term of service in
one school so long that she was teach
ing the second generation, frequently
spoke to her pupils of the time when
-their parents had been in her room
and often mentioned persons about
town who had gone to school to her.
Just before the winter holidays she
took occasion to speak of the signifi
cance at Christmas, explaining that it
was the anniversary of the birth of
Jesus. The story was familiar to most
of the children, but one little fellow,
whose religious education was not as
extensive as that of "the others, spoiled
the effect by innocently piping up:
“Did he ever go to school to you?”
Motor Tricycle.
The most recent novelty in London
is the automobile tricycle, invented
for shopping purposes. It is operated
standing and takes up scarcely more
room than the driver, so that it can
he propelled into a shop and wheeled
about as desired. It has a speed rang
ing to as much as sixteen kilometers
per hour. A receptacle for parcels is
placed on the under side.—Harper's
Weekly.
